The Taster Course is a great introduction to East London Printmakers’ courses.

It provides the opportunity to try four different printing techniques and an opporutnity to familiarise yourself with all the equipment. All our tutors are artists and experienced teachers who have devised introductory activities for everyone, whether you’re an artist wanting to remind yourself of printing techniques or an absolute beginner.

The course includes introductions to Screenprinting, Etching, Monoprinting and Linocut!

Monoprinting: An inventive way of using quick painting and drawing techniques together in a single image.

Etching: An intaglio technique, which involves etching a line with acid into a metal plate.

Screenprinting: A great technique for printing posters or tshirts. Masks are applied to a screen and colours are printed through this with acrylic inks.

Linocut: A relief process that involves carving the plate and rolling ink over the surface.

There is one starting in January so book early to avoid disappointment!
